Uninstalled because if someone is already a member but not logged in and they try to perform a members action such as making a post it takes them to the register page instead of giving them the chance to login although I think your product still has good potienial.

Can someone tell me will this affect search engines/spiders?
It will be a great way of getting new members but if it diverts engines/spiders to registration page to then it will be pointless.
Anyone?
Yes it will redirect a spider,BUT only if it is trying to post a new thread, reply to a thread, use the search and whatever other plugin you have enabled.
Since if the spider tries to do that action anyone its redirected to a error page, there is 0 harm done redirecting it to a register page instead.
my forum is new, the spiders are working, ido have the vbseo on, and sitemaps
does it makes google apart to register, im a little confuse becouse google will read the xml.
some advice please before instaling
